Yes, it's the TAXES that get you LOL.

I still say MR should increase the amount in the winning spree jackpot. $500.00 won't buy much.

I would post a maximum bid amount at Ebay high enough to ensure that I get my out-of-production locomotive that nobody else seems to want... until the last thirty minutes of bidding. GRRR!

I haven't used Ebay in the past, but recently decided just to peek and sure enough found something I've long been looking for. I'm getting FED UP with the way my maximum bid gets exceeded in the closing hours consistently... even if I have been the only bidder on a given item. So far, I've lost over $250 worth of bids, and the only ones I've "won" have been instant-purchase items.

So, $500 = Max Bid on the next RSD-15 I see,,,,

I doubt anyone who has replied to the original poster's question has actually READ the Official Rules.

I have, and the prize ISN'T disbursed as a check; rather, the winner receives a GIFT CERTIFICATE for the prize amount, to be redeemed at the winner's favorite hobbyshop.

I would try to buy some N scale rolling stock and a couple of engines.
I would like to start modeling my town of Hot Springs, as it has a lot of interesting
history and a wide range of indyustries and track design.

First i would go to the casino, make my self a millionaire. I would buy 105 Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Challengers, Build a gymnasium sizedlayout showing Sherman hill, Wyoming, and have freights going over the hill pulled by the Challengers. I would have six of the Challengers fitted for passenger service so i could have passenger trains climbing the grade.
